Ingredients:
Oats - 1 cup
Finely chopped pieces of red, yellow and green capsicum - 1 cup
Butter - 2 tspn
Cinnamon - 1 piece
Bay leaf - 1
Milk - 2 cups
Fresh cream - 1/2 cup (optional)
Garlic flakes- 3 to 5
Salt - To taste

Method:
Soak Oats in boiling water for 15 to 20 mins till it becomes soft and a little fluffy. Using a masher or hand blender, blend it thoroughly. Mix 1 cup of water to the milk and add the oats to it. Bring it to boil.

In a hard bottomed pan melt the butter and add the garlic flakes (smash the garlic little). Add cinnamon and bayleaf to it. Mix well and add the capsicum and salt. Let this cook well. Add the cooked oats to this and serve hot.

You can add pepper powder and fresh cream just before serving.

Instead of just capsicum, you can use the Vegetable stock also. If you are using vegetable stock, use the soup bag instead of cinnmon and bayleaf.
